'Tis the season for giving, and what better way to show your appreciation for someone then to bestow them with an absurdly lavish gift, presuming you are nestled high up into the 1%. Here are 11 of the most ludicrously expensive gift ideas, courtesy of Time:

Pacifier, $17,000: Your baby will reign as the queen of daycare with this BabyWit pacifier, which is bejeweled with 14-karat gold and studded with diamonds.

Space flight, $200,000: Send a friend on an extraterrestrial vacation via Virgin Galactic. The maiden flight is set for 2013.

It's a pretty diverse list, I gotta give it that. Most of it is just hopelessly dumb, though. At least seven are just tragically elitist versions of less expensive items. Just one is kinda cool (the submarine) and one is very cool (the spaceflight).
